Is there an option to change the role names on the class selection screen?
I know it's a tiny detail but I really miss the native role selection screen. Are tiny details like the native role names, the descriptions on the team and class selection screen that waters down the immersion for me :(

RO1 Hud Options

Other thing that I miss in RO2 is the whole HUD tab in the options menu.
Why not let the player customize the hud? Choose if they want to show the compass or the radar, hide all the hud, hide/show separated infos/components, chat lines, font size, scaling, opacity, etc.

I would do it for you if you don't mind one issue that I found-

The names of classes on the stats page are only the axis names, and there's not actually a 'neutral' class name option.

oh, and I don't speak Russian or German but maybe it would work out, already having the RO1 names available.

If you need help with german translation write a PM.

I probably screwed this up badly, but here's a stab at it.

I wonder why TWI broke their word and didn't bother to implement this as an option in the first place...


[...]or adding an option for translated role names (like we did in the first retail game) are the types of things that will make them not want to play the new game, then they will be wasting their time on these forums[...]

[...]Seriously, it really seems a bit silly that anyone could be upset by us adding an option to actually be able to read the role names, when there was an option to turn them back on. Something so far removed from game play, and that you could have set exactly the same way as before if you wanted, and yet some people were actually bothered by that. Its hard to take someone seriously after making a point like that.

Thanks, mungokang! I made the changes you recommended. Unfortunately, There's only one string for 'Hero' and I don't really want to choose between the two languages, though it would be a nice touch.

You may want to check out my Updated Text mod for native weapon names. While I don't have anything written out in other languages (it's only official shortened designations), I removed the english bits on the end like 'Pistol' or 'LMG'. I could write out the names for fun in this mod, though.

You're welcome, Sarcinelli! It's a shame the option wasn't there before, but I hope this works in its place.
